Repeat after me: 1. China is not an industrial superpower 2. Russian military industry is not built on Chinese import 3. It is built on import from Western Europe, Taiwan and South Korea. That's it 4. Russian leadership knows it and thinks China can't substitute import from (3) twitter.com/jimineuropa/st…
2022-10-18 04:02:44@kamilkazani China is a superpower. If you like it or not.
2022-10-18 04:05:29@kamilkazani Are you sure that "China is not an industrial superpower"? They are number one since 2010s.. worldatlas.com/articles/10-co…
2022-10-18 04:05:52@onelk10 @kamilkazani Analysis of *what* they produce and what it is for is critical. Most of their manufacturing is unfinished or consumer goods for other markets.
2022-10-18 04:15:16@kamilkazani And there's the rather important point that China is dependent on Western tech for all kinds of critically important thing, and its companies don't want to be on the wrong side of a US-led ban for breaking sanctions on Russia.
2022-10-18 04:05:59@ChrisO_wiki @kamilkazani There already are US sanctions on China now for semi conductors
2022-10-18 04:07:51@kamilkazani China doesn't have what Russia needs anyway. No homegrown advanced chips.
2022-10-18 04:07:15@kamilkazani Lol.. China couldn't manufacture ball point pens until 2017, thier digital technology will not catch up to 2015 until 2025
2022-10-18 04:07:57@kamilkazani Russia is the second largest arms exporter in the world behind the US no? What in your eyes holds China back from being an “industrial superpower” as the largest manufacturing country on earth?
2022-10-18 04:09:11@_tallly @kamilkazani Because they don't manufacturer everything and even lots of what they do needs machines built in the EU and the US to manufacture. Russia also hit a wall with import replacements because of it.
2022-10-18 04:19:23@kamilkazani If China isn't an industrial superpower then why is it so difficult for Western consumers to boycott?
2022-10-18 04:12:15@GCarty80 @kamilkazani Because western people are soft
2022-10-18 04:13:29@kamilkazani The sadness of a prophet is : he can foresee that he just couldn't proves his foresee.
2022-10-18 04:14:31@kamilkazani China is a manufacturing super power. While it may struggle to compete with the West in cutting edge technology it is perfectly capable of producing much of the technology that Russia needs and doing that in high volume. They should not be underestimated.
2022-10-18 04:26:34@kamilkazani The practical issue they may have, certainly in semiconductors would be getting them into production in a lead time of less than 9 months or maybe a year.
2022-10-18 04:31:12@kamilkazani Which country after the USA is the 2nd industrial superpower?
